Walking down the street,
minding my own business, and suddenly, something overtakes my senses. I
smell something so horrid that it overwhelms my body and leaves a bad taste in
my mouth. It smells like wet dog, a fish market, and vomit all wrapped
into one. Just getting one whiff of it could be deadly and leave you
paralyzed for all eternity. I try to cover it up by putting my shirt over
my nose, but it still seeps through my clothes and I can still smell it.
Holding my breath only works for a limited amount of time before I need
to breathe again. I try to walk quickly, but that smell just follows me
wherever I go. My one question is, where is this smell coming from?
Looking up and down the street, I see nothing out of the ordinary except
for this big fence I’m walking next to. What sort of place or thing could
be so vile that it actually smelled like this? The scent of spoiled food
and bad body odor fill up my nostrils as I keep walking. I smell myself
to make sure it’s not me. And, silently thanking the Heavens, it isn't.
Wouldn't that be embarrassing? My only mission right now is to
locate where this smell is coming from so I can get as far away from it as
possible. I take one quicker look around before I realize something. Behind
the huge fence I have been walking next to is a huge dumpster site where all
the neighbors throw away their trash.
